A Little Closer

I just spent nearly a week visiting my family at the beach. My dad lives about an hour or so inland from North Myrtle Beach. I also visited with two of my three sisters. One of my sisters was gracious enough to critique a story of mine.

I came home late Monday night. And you know what I did Tuesday? Here's a hint, a didn't unpack. You guessed it, I spent hours rewriting my story - again! Every time, it keeps getting closer. How will I ever know when I've arrived? I don't know. But I do know I'm getting closer. Just like my son here, at the candy shop. "Just a little closer..."

(Actually, I had him pose. I'm surprised it wasn't candid.)

Here's a couple other fun pics.
Samantha: "Toppled."
Shawn and Wesley: "My fish is the biggest. No MY fish is bigger!"
